Fayemi is also the chairman of Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum (NGF) and had held meetings with some other governors in the country in recent weeks including Bauchi governor Bala Mohammed who tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday.

Mohammed reportedly got infected with the virus after having contact with Mohammed, son of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar who tested positive.

Chief of staff to Nigerian Ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari who Fayemi also met recently had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Nigeria’s total case of coronavirus as at Wednesday morning is at 46.
